I am having two issues with compiling my kernel. I am using 2.6.26 source. The first issue has to do with config and mkinitramfs. I have been messing with kernel to see what happens in different situations and I can't figure out why my expectation is different from the outcome here. The steps I'm using are; make mrproper make allmodconfig make make modules_install make install mkinitramfs-kpkg -o /boot/img-2.6.26 2.6.26 I anticipate the outcome to be that I will have all drivers loaded as modules yet my wireless network card won't work. I was under the impression that mkinitramfs without options would load all modules at boot, is this not the case? If not what steps would I need to take to ensure that all modules are loaded at boot. The other issue is with patching. I am attempting to patch the source with the -5 patch using the command; patch -p1 < patch-2.6.26-5.tar.gz from the top level of the source tree. I get an error saying that the entire patch is garbage. I checked the man page for patch already and didn't see anything to suggest that I was doing the wrong thing here so I'm pretty confused on this one.
